What I liked most about this article and the research is that it makes science, math, and programming real. That is, I can go back to the kids on my FLL team and show them a real-life use of the EV3 which will help me drive home how important the effort they are making to learn how to program the EV3 is. I now have a real world example where science meets math and programming. I think interesting research like this has the potential to capture the imagination and trigger the innovation of our youth. I know some people will read the article and want to debate the likelihood of true artificial intelligence or even the merits of doing artificial intelligence research, and that’s fine too
